摘要
Normal plasma recoveries after various events, such as after shutdown, various boronization, oxidation and large air leak, were investigated in the 2007 campaign of HT-7. Plasma recoveries, including disruptive plasmas, would depend on the wall status, such as impurities content and hydrogen retention. After shutdown or air leak, impurities made plasma recovery very difficult. After boronization, plasma recoveries would depend on the procedures of the boronization (C2B10H12). After oxidation, boronization would effectively suppress impurities and would be beneficial for plasma recovery. ICRF cleanings in various working gases, such as He and D-2, would be useful for impurities and hydrogen removal. This research is important for effective operation of HT-7 and would be useful for EAST and ITER operations. (C) 2008 Elsevier BY. All rights reserved.
